ACDC new album

anyone looking forward to AC/DC's new album due out this month ?

Black Ice.

i wonder if in 30+ years they can make a new album that has something new and exciting in it.

There is nothing new and exciting on it.
Last night I played it over a 3000 watt PA system to an audience full of ACDC fans who come to watch us and I was asked to turn it off.

Most reviewers who heard previews were claiming this was going to be another Back in Black....talkin out their arses.

Not very interesting tbh. No idea how it could be called "back in black" 2 or the like.

I heard they were gonna only sing about Jesus and change their name to ADBC.... Damned family guy lied to me again!

I've enjoyed the last couple of albums. Not stunning like early DC but still good rocking out tunes.

I heard the opening track on Radio 2 the other day, it was distinctly average and a tad confused , not great.

Last night while sound checking I picked up the guitar and started to play Rock N Roll Train and one person recognised what I was playing which summed it up for me.
To be honest our following turn up for the Bon Scott tunes.

I'm as big an AC/DC fan as it's possible to be. I can honestly say that the only really good album they've made with Brian was Back in Black - everything since has been mediocre at best.

HOWEVER, live, they're a different matter. Still as lound, brash and ballsy now as they ever were. Little Angus is now a balding, middle-aged guy - but he still fills that schoolboy uniform like a sack of hyperactive ferrets.

I'll still be buying the album no matter how crap it is - I have virtually everything they've ever pressed. Cost me a fortune in Aussie imports, back in the day :/

There is only so much of the chord 'A' that people can put up with.

(Incidentally I played the drums on 2 songs last night - Deuce & Shout It Out Loud by KISS. Lets just say that because of the copius amounts of beer sold I got away with it

).

I've got it.
I like it.
It's not amazing, but it's good and easy to listen to. I can't see any songs off it making it into a live set though, really. Rock and Roll train probably, but nothing else. They'll be better off sticking to a best of set for their tour.
7/10.
